• Version: 1.0.0

Overview

The skill mostly does what it claims, but its default transcript segmentation can send full transcripts to an undisclosed third-party MiniMax API when a key is present.

Review this skill before installing if your videos may contain private, business, customer, or regulated speech. Use --no-segment unless you are comfortable sending transcript text to MiniMax, and install Whisper in an isolated, non-admin environment with pinned dependencies where possible.

Vulnerability Patterns

• Insecure Dependencies: Introduces malicious components through unsafe dependency sources
• Insecure Skill Coding Practices: Finds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review

When `MINIMAX_API_KEY` is present, `semanticSegment` inserts the entire locally generated transcript into a user message and posts it to `https://api.minimaxi.com/v1/text/chatcompletion_v2`.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 71% confidence

Finding

The skill description and usage are framed as only supporting Windows, and the entire natural-language interface/documentation is presented in Chinese without offering any language or locale choice. Under the stated policy, forcing a specific language or locale without opt-in can be a natural-language policy violation unless clearly justified as region-specific compliance tooling, which is not stated here.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

External Transmission

Medium

• Category: Data Exfiltration
• Confidence: 60% confidence

Finding

Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 95% confidence

Finding

The top-level documentation states that text extraction uses the SiliconFlow API and even documents SILI_FLOW_API_KEY as required for that feature. However, the actual transcribeAudio implementation announces '本地 Whisper' and spawns a local 'whisper' executable instead, meaning the documented intent for this capability contradicts the code's real behavior.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 96% confidence

Finding

The Whisper invocation hard-codes --language zh, which enforces a specific language/locale regardless of user preference or input content. This matches the policy category for language or locale constraints without explicit opt-in or choice.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 92% confidence

Finding

The function sends full transcript text to the external MiniMax API whenever segmentation is enabled, and segmentation defaults to on. Transcripts may contain sensitive personal, business, or regulated content, so silent third-party transmission creates a real privacy and data-governance risk.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Missing User Warnings

Low

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 86% confidence

Finding

This markdown file explicitly instructs the user to download videos to a local directory and notes that missing directories will be created automatically. While the behavior is described functionally, it does not clearly warn users that the skill will write files to disk and create folders on their system, which is a safety-relevant side effect.

Missing User Warnings

Low

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 86% confidence

Finding

The function automatically creates directories and saves extracted transcript content to a file. While the top-level comment says the tool auto-saves text, there is no confirmation prompt before persisting potentially sensitive transcript data to disk during extraction.

Content

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low

• Category: Not specified by scanner
• Confidence: 84% confidence

Finding

The code uses toLocaleString('zh-CN'), which hard-codes a specific locale in generated output. There is no indication that users can opt in to this locale or choose an alternative.
